Localization landscape (LL) theory is applied to directly model carrier transport in a type II superlattice (T2SL) InAs/InAsSb photoconductor system. It is difficult to apply the classical Poisson and drift–diffusion (DD) model to direct modeling of carrier transport in superlattice systems because quantum effects need to be considered. With the LL theory, it is possible to obtain the effective quantum potential seen by carriers. By coupling the LL theory with the Poisson–DD model and replacing the traditional conduction and valence potentials with effective quantum potentials, it is possible to directly model carrier transport in a T2SL system. We compare the results of this approach with experimental results and find very good agreement, which indicates that this method will provide an efficient tool for the T2SL design.Localization landscape (LL) theory is applied to directly model carrier transport in a type II superlattice (T2SL) InAs/InAsSb photoconductor system.
